Simulation Files and tutorial PDF
This tutorial details the set-up of a simulation and covers the following EDEM functions:
- Creation of Particle and Geometry materials
- Creation of Particles with a User Defined Size distribution
- Creation of a MultiSphere Particle Prototype. The multi-sphere particle shape is defined using particle CAD templates, which can be imported to EDEM and manually filled with spherical particles
- Use Conveyor Kinematics, which provides movement and acceleration of the conveyor belt.
- Creation of bin groups in the Analyst to analyze particles and their properties in specified regions
- Export of simulation data to a .csv (text) file
- Choosing Simulator Engine
Model Overview
